The Q1 results confirm a massive earnings inflection driven by the Strait of Hormuz closure. With spot rates at all-time highs entering Q2 and the company's fleet heavily exposed to spot market (29 of 39 vessels), Q2 earnings should substantially exceed Q1. The $1.00 special dividend signals management confidence. Key risks: the conflict resolution timeline and potential oil demand destruction from sustained high prices. Monitor weekly tanker rate data and any geopolitical developments regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
